    Feels like this judge is far overreaching. The victims have an interest in who buys the assets, especially when it is assumed that the highest bidder is going to resume spreading lies about them. This isn’t a situation where the fiduciary duty to the victims trumps their preferences.

      A court hearing is typically held after a bankruptcy auction to finalize the winning bids and sales, and to hear any objections, so the process in Jones’ case hasn’t strayed far from the usual — yet.

      We’ll see about that pretty soon.

        Yeah, I’m more concerned about the judge’s editorial statements.
